by Greg Brown, Foreword by Stephen Coonts
Flying Carpet: The Soul of an Airplane is written for general audiences as well as pilots. Greg was named “Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month” for this book.
Journey life’s skies with Greg Brown as he matures from fledgling to seasoned aviator, encountering aerial adventure and colorful characters along the way. Sweat with him through harrowing flights, learn by his triumphs and mistakes, and join his young family growing up aloft.
This book goes beyond the physical act of flying — it’s about conquering the nagging fears that consume every new pilot when mastering this most revered and challenging of human endeavors.
Most of all, it’s about the joy and boundless freedom of being a pilot, pursuing like our aerial ancestors the inescapable lure of the map.
Mr. Brown was named Barnes & Noble Arizona Author of the Month for this book. Some reviewers have compared Flying Carpet to such 1960s road-trip classics as Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road.
